Insurance Auto Auctions announced its director of corporate development has been appointed to serve a two-year term as a member representing the interest of salvage yards and auto recyclers on the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s  NMVTIS Advisory Board.

IAA highlighted Brian Hildreth is one of 25 representatives from key stakeholder groups, including law enforcement, state motor vehicle titling agencies, insurance carriers, auto industry organizations, consumer advocacy organizations and technology partners.

“Brian’s appointment is a reflection of IAA’s expertise and 30-year history in the salvage auction industry,” said Tom O’Brien, chief executive officer at Insurance Auto Auctions. “We are pleased that he will represent our industry and participate in this important initiative.”
